Can one put text lables on a plot axis?

Hi.
I am working on a report and I have some tada that I would
like to pot as a curve. The problem is that my X axis isn't
a parameter that takes numerical values, but a list of
components with names.

Does anyone know if I can make a plot and exchange the
x-axis markings with custom labels?

Sincerely
--DA

Hi Daniel, try this:

ydata = [55:60]
xdata = 1:length(ydata)
xlabels = {'Jan','Feb','Mar','anything','you','like'}
figure
plot(xdata, ydata, '.b-')
set(gca, 'Xtick', xdata, 'XtickLabel', xlabels)

Cheers,
Sven.
